My Healthy-Yummy Oatmeal Cookies
(sorry no picture but we ate them all)

In my quest to find healthy but still tasty oatmeal cookies I have combined and tweaked several different recipes and come up with these delicious cookies. We add different add ins each time and often divide the batch in half and make chocolate chip craisen for Pearl and I and raisin coconut for Mike and Rose. This is actually for a double batch and I usually freeze at least half of the dough in small balls on a cookie sheet. Press them flat before freezing so they defrost easier. Once the balls are frozen (about an hour) I toss them in a gallon freezer Ziploc and then can pull them out as I need them. I usually let the frozen cookies set out on cookie sheet about 10 minutes while the oven preheats.

If you don't want to freeze them you can cut the recipe in half.

Cream together
2c. butter softened
1c. brown sugar
1/2c. white sugar
4 eggs
4tsp vanilla

Mix dry ingredients
1 1/2 C, White flour
1 1/2 C, Wheat flour
2 tsp. Baking SODA
1 tsp. salt
2 Tablespoons Flaxseed

Combine wet and dry ingredients well then add
6 Cups of Oatmeal ( or one whole container of small size 18 oz)
(at this point you may want to split the batter in half to make two different types of oatmeal cookies)

Now add any other ingredients such as
Craisins
Raisins
nuts
Coconut
Chocolate chips

Bake at 375 degrees for 10 min.
Makes about 60 cookies. I use my pampered chef scoop to make them nice and round.
My girls love to have these for breakfast. They tell me they are healthy so are good for breakfast. I am sure they are better for them then many sugar flavored- artificially colored cereals.
